Forecasts

Lil Brother (3/1), Stardinia (7/2), Clear Force (4/1), Dazzling Haze (11/2), Kolkata Knight (7/1), Reimagined (7/1), Army Bugler (9/1), Concert (11/1)

A case can be made for most of these but DAZZLING HAZE rates just the pick on the back of her Thirsk victory so is taken to follow up. Windsor scorer Lil Brother and the progressive Stardinia are dangers.
